One of the Tulsa kids ran forward but turned his back to save his face. Had he gone forward, he would have blocked it.

well, if nothing else, i can now see how he got his name.

TIL that swim meets in Alaska don’t immediately give all competitors concussions upon diving in.

screw these idiots. these narcissistic twats who think its funny to ruin/waste the time of thousands of other people. serious antisocial behavior. i have no time for their bullshit anymore

Can’t wait for the Saints to be victims of the new pass interference rule, which is truly THE crowning achievement in dumb reactionary bullshit from this stupid league.

Is this a good thing though? Maybe Urshela collides with the fan and the fan gets a bit banged up, but is no worse for the wear. After the game Urshela checks in on the fan and they really hit it off. They begin dating, fall madly in love and get married. GOOD GOING NET, YOU COST TWO PEOPLE THEIR CHANCE AT TRUE LOVE.

Non-consensual kissing is not okay. That fact that the ball wants to give him a little kiss doesn’t give it the right to do that. I think the batter’s body language demonstrated his reluctance clearly enough that the ball should have known it was unwelcome, even if he didn’t explicitly say “No”. Best to use a standard…

Particularly shitty is the inclusion of club pay—USWNT players are essentially stuck in NWSL, because there is not a robust global marketplace of leagues offering better opportunities, overwhelmingly due to gender discrimination.

She’s intentionally mixing apples and oranges. She is using the success and popularity of the women’s national team to argue that a women’s professional league should be given more money. This, of course, completely ignores the fact that the women’s national team is not designed as a business. For whatever reason she…

I think the argument is “off-sides shouldn’t matter if the play is cool” which is still not a good argument to make.

...Is this post essentially arguing that football should just get rid of the offside rule? Or that somehow it becomes a completely optional rule for the referees? As otherwise I don’t really know what the point here was?

You can be fined for failing to zipper merge in Europe.

What if we aggressively enforced speed limits and people not actively passing in the left lane?

I’d take the loss on my current car for the truck you’re describing (but with proper 4x4 because MPGs, and I hate not knowing what wheels are engaged in AWD systems)

I’ve gotten yelled at about his in beer league.  This is 100% something skaters are aware of

Huh? His being in the offensive zone makes him offside. It does not mean it’s too many men. These are different rules. Read 74.1.

Makes sense to me because they are different rules with different standards. If the puck hit him, it would be Too Many Men. If he punched/hooked/interfered with somebody, it would be roughing/hooking/interference. He isn’t a non-entity, the rules still apply to him. He just gets an exception for that one rule as long…

“To put it another way: By the letter of the law, the Avalanche could have been penalized for too many men on the ice here, because Wilson was out before Landeskog was off.”

Come on, you’re better than this! My wife and I play in a bowling league together and we’re not fucking.
